Narrative

Miner was using a Tamrock drill rig and was attempting to remove the drill bit by hitting it with a hammer. Another hammer was propped against the drill bit to secure the bit. When EE struck the bit with one hammer, the other hammer slid down pushing EE's finger across the broken drill bit which lacerated the finger.
